This week our class period was mainly focused on planning a prom event for the residents of the West Center in February. We started class by brainstorming potential ideas for themes (the Roaring Twenties, disco, enchanted forest, etc.) After discussing and voting on potential options, we went with a fairy tale theme, which should be a lot of fun!
After we voted, we broke off into individual committees to plan various aspects of the prom. The committee I chose was the food/drinks committee, because I feel that my skills and interests would be best suited there. Generally, my committee decided to have some meal-like food that residents can take home for dinner (since they will have just eaten lunch at the time of the prom). We also chose to have some healthy savory snacks, which we felt many parties do not have. We also thought it could be fun to have a sort of mock-tail bar with thematic drinks, and so we have brainstormed a few (like the Cinderella, the Snow White, etc.) Finally, we thought it could be fun to focus on a dessert bar with a bunch of mini desserts that attendees can pick up and eat quickly.
Given the overall budget of $300, we decided that we will probably order Costco pizza for the meal since it is fairly cheap, put together our own snack plates with fruits, veggies, crackers, cheese, etc., get each drink component individually and have a bar tender, and bake the desserts among ourselves. This way, we can have a large variety of items with minimal cost. Overall, I’m really looking forward to the planning of the event as well as the event itself, because it seems like it will be really touching and meaningful.
